Finnish psychotherapy clinic discloses data breach, victims extorted

Psychotherapy Center Vastaamo in Finland is under heavy stress after a threat actor asked a ransom for a client database with confidential information stolen in a data breach that likely happened almost two years ago. Thousands of patient records may be at risk as the private clinic is a nationwide practice with more than a dozen branches and other institutions contract its services. The threat actor threatened to publish patient data in an attempt to force the clinic into paying the ransom and kept their word. Since the public notice, they leaked at least 300 patient records on a site in the Tor anonymity network, according to a local source.
